Well just a few comments on the video shown at E3, dunno if there will be more.. wouldn't mind it though http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

But it looked interesting, although that bit with the general was a bit.. bland and he didn't really seem impressed with the situation at any point..

Otherwise quite like the variety in units already shown http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Wolverines, M3 Lees, stuarts, priests, Marder IIs.. and sturmgrenadiers ? A bit curious to me, only place i heard of those where from the eastern front in a sturm division.

Also the base building did look a bit interesting, although the bit with raiding supply depots reminded me of C&C generals.. So a thought, will one be able to take out the supply convoys ? Because that could certainly lead to new strategies as players head further and further out after resources..

Also a small comment on those sherman crocodiles.. The range was a bit... extreme, i mean they could shoot almost as long as the priests, firing over townships and what not.. I mean i am not going for total realism here and so on.. But that was just a bit too much :P

But interesting all in all, and nice to see some north africa http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

yeah the sherman crocodiles range was fail man. like wtf was that that kinda was a downer for me and with the artillery does that just kill every thing and not miss ?.

crocodiles range = to much should have to drive tank like right in town.

yeah the range kinda mad me sad, but i think that the artillery wasnt that bad, there were a considerable amount of shells that missed the target.

I'd just hate to play the dude on multiplayer that mass produces the croc's with that kinda range

I think the Croc's range may have been buffed. The tanks get taken out in seconds by the infantry so they may have had to increase the range to beat them...Just a thought.

And Quarantine, it wouldn't matter if they did as you could just produce AT guns and AT tanks.

Anyway, it was quite zoomed in so the range might not be that big. It's not like their shooting halfway across the map.

http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.gif Thats Ridiculous!! If thats true then i guess it makes sense that it could fire over a small town. Do you happen to have a link or something as to where you found that it did that?

That kind of range is the end of infantry. Though if such range is only possible when the infantry is occupying the town, and everywhere else is much lower, it may be understandable.
...MAY be.

Proof, or counter proof.

The English Channel at its narrowest point is 21 miles or 34 kilometers wide.

Thats 34,000 meters.

The crocs was capable of throwing fire about 110 meters.

Who here is good at maths.

well... after checking wiki. It states that the croc had a very short range... The idea of it shooting over the english channel suggests that its range was further than the german 88mm Flak Gun! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif
